2010 Movie Preview - March

MARCH 5: 'Alice in Wonderland'
It's rumored that Tim Burton's next film is 'Maleficent', based on the 'Sleeping Beauty' fairy tale. Also floating around the rumor mill? 'Dark Shadows', with Johnny Depp attached as Barnabas Collins - and if neither of those are next film, it just may be and a feature length adaptation of his short film 'Frankenweenie'. It's not that I mind Burton indulging his sensibilities and creating works that speak to him. But Jesus, when artists never leave their wheelhouse, they end up becoming boring, and quite frankly, redundant.

MARCH 12: 'Green Zone'
Paul Greengrass hasn't made a bad film. And though his total is only three theatrical releases ('United 93', and the last two Bourne films), all three succeed to such a high level that it makes sense to assume 'Green Zone' will, too. And though I tolerate Scorsese's devotion to Leonardo DiCaprio, I'd much rather see a relationship between Greengrass and actor/muse Matt Damon flourish.

MARCH 19: 'Hot Tub Time Machine'
I kind of missed out on 'The Hangover'. I didn't see until very recently and, though I enjoyed it, I kinda wish I was one of those guys who discovered it early into it's release and made you feel like an idiot for not having seen it. That's not going to happen again. 'Hot Tub', starring John Cusak, Rob Corddry and Craig Robinson from 'The Office' (the black guy), looks even more fun than 'The Hangover'. What? You haven't seen the trailer, yet? Dude, you gotta see the trailer.

MARCH 26: 'I Love You Philip Morris'
Now... I don't really want to see this movie that much, but rather, I'm dying to see the reaction it gets upon its release. Based on the trailer below, it looks a bit... odd. I mean, what exactly is Jim Carrey relationship to Ewan McGregor? It's certainly a little... off, right?

Now, to make things more clear, check out the international trailer below.
